Welcome to the Journal
Sometimes faith is loud. Sometimes it’s a whisper in the dark. This space was created for both.
Here, I share what I’m learning in the Word, in my walk with Jesus, and in the everyday intersections of faith, culture, leadership, and calling. Some entries are deep dives into Scripture. Others are heart spills from the frontlines of ministry, and others are just realizations from the messy middle. I don’t have all the answers—but I do have questions, stories, and a deep desire to follow Jesus well.
My prayer is that these words help you know God more deeply, wrestle through the hard questions honestly, and find hope that anchors you in truth.
It’s the Part for me
I've finally found myself on the other side of the Torah. For the last five months, I've been slowly making my way through Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. Not rushing through them. Not simply checking off chapters on a reading plan. I've been...
Salt, Light, and Abomination Lists
Still in Deuteronomy. At this point, I feel like Moses and I are splitting a charcuterie board somewhere in the wilderness while he passionately explains covenant theology for the seventeenth consecutive day. And honestly? I’m okay with it. Because every time I read...
The Lord is our Inheritance
Hi, it’s me again. Yes, I’m still in Deuteronomy. I know. I KNOW. At this point, Moses and I are basically in a small group together, but honestly, I’m not ashamed. Every time I open this book, I find another layer of God’s heart hidden inside laws, wilderness...
Things To Remember
I have a tattoo on the back of my arm that says REMEMBER. It’s intentional—not just the word, but the placement. It’s a covenant reminder, a Kingdom principle, a call to remember all God has done. But it’s also on the back of my arm where I can’t see it. I put it...
Sorry Isn’t the Same as Repentance
The beauty of the story of Deuteronomy is that Moses is telling the next generation what not to do. And this next version of what not to do could change everything if they actually take heed to it. Israel has seen the promise and panicked. They saw the land, they...
Tasting Isn’t Trusting
Hi, it’s me… still in Deuteronomy. I’ve been sitting here longer than I expected, reading slowly, peeling back layers, letting the text speak instead of rushing through it. This morning, Deuteronomy 1:19–32 was in front of me, and it stopped me in a way I didn’t see...
On The Edge of Promise
I started reading the Old Testament, the Torah, Genesis through Deuteronomy, in the fall of 2025. And yes, I am still in it. Not because I am stuck, but because I am lingering. I have learned to read Scripture in layers. First, I read big chunks to understand the...
When the Promise Is in Front of You, but Not for You
There is something deeply human about Moses in Deuteronomy. The book itself reads like a final conversation, a last sermon from a leader who knows his time is almost over. Moses is speaking to the next generation of Israel, the generation that will finally step into...
They Are Bread For Us
When you read the Bible, it is rare to see someone respond to a giant the way David does. He looks at Goliath and basically says, “Yeah, he’s big. Totally scary. But my God is bigger and stronger. Let’s do this!” Ever since I was a kid, everyone has used David’s story...
